As
we are working on sustainable
development projects
in different
countries, ICSD identify
new
technologies
that can help us to achieve
sustainability. You can find some
of the best technologies existed on
this page.

The Distributed
Generation (DG) system is a new way
to supply continuous energy to
facility. It can be installed
inside or near a building to
provide electricity and optionally,
heat. DG can help the customer save
money in buying energy, reduce
environmental impacts, and avoid
power outages. DG integrates the
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
technology to cogenerate heat
during the electricity production,
to provide heating, cooling and
power to facilities such as
factories, greenhouse, and
hospital. More information, please
contact ICSD.

After a few decades
of development, solar power
technology has greatly
increased its productivity while
significantly reduced its cost.
ICSD is working
to use solar energy technologies to
power water pumping, drying,
small electric tools,
communication, and education.
Integrating these new technologies
in building schools, clinics, and
houses helps rural or distant area
to gather energy at a reasonable
price. It also benefits the local
economy greatly.

ICSD
has a good relationship with
non-profit organizations such as
Solar Energy Industries Association
and Solar Energy Research and
Education Foundation. Together we
promote cleaner, safer, more
efficient, and cost-effective
energy solutions, including solar,
wind, and hydroelectric power.

Burning straw in the fields
after harvesting has been a major
environmental problem in many
countries, especially developing countries such as
China. The smoke and dust released
by the burning pollutes the air,
cause health problems, and reduce
the solar radiation thus
decrease the agricultural
production.

The Enviro
Board Corporation
developed and patented a
fiber extrusion process
that produces a low-cost
fiberboard suitable for
home and building
construction, plus many
other uses, such

With a GreenMachineTM, common earth
and only a little mortar, anyone
can produce and use the Earth Brick
for construction. This technology
advances the traditional adobe
building method to
a brand new stage. Central to the
TerraBuiltTM construction concept
is the ability to rapidly produce
on-site a dimensionally precise
tongue and groove structural block.
It reduces construction costs by
using abundantly available local
material and labor, and by
eliminating time consuming
construction processes. It also
largely eliminates the use of
mortar, thus reduces the need for
mining for mortar, which destroys
the top soil.

GIS technology
combines powerful database
capabilities for spatial data, with
the unique visual perspective of a
good old-fashioned map. It is a system of
computer software, hardware, data,
and personnel to help manipulate,
analyze and
present information that is tied to
a spatial location. GIS can help
urban planners, environmental
scientists, economists, engineers,
and local government to improve
organizational integration, make
better decisions and map any data.

There are numerous application of
GIS in sustainable development. We
can use it to study and manage
eco-system, track the effects of
pollution, locate sustainable
facilities, manage natural and
renewable resources, design
transportation and energy system,
study demographics and growth
pattern, monitor environmental
quality, etc.

This circular waste water treatment
system is based on the ecological principle that each
material has its own place on the
Earth. To eliminate the need for
storing pollutants, we must
minimize the pollutants we produce.
WWRR collects waste water into one
or more deep aerated cells to
purify. The water after
purification can be used to
irrigate farms and gardens. The
whole system can be designed and
planned with the community, and
becomes a scenery spot to the
residents.
